Rubyists aren't like hippies (hippies have no taste and they dislike drama), more like hipster art critics if anything.
Haskellers being compared to Jehovah's witnesses is even more wrong. They're more like scientists, maybe of the climate change variety: most of them keep their heads down with a dedication to improving the state of the art, but when they go public it's with good reason and people should listen rather rejecting out of hand anything that challenges their ingrained worldview.
